Big news, panel members! Our popular Summertime Scratch and Match game is back this summer with great prizes!

Summertime Scratch and Match is our interactive game where you can win prizes including digital eCodes, bonus points, and sweepstakes entries. Submitting your shopping trips weekly during the game period earns you up to five chances to play.

When does it start?

Summertime Scratch and Match will run for five weeks from July 14-August 17, 2024. Submit a shopping trip during the week of July 14 to earn your first game play! Panelists who earn a game play can begin using them on Monday, July 22 in the NCPMobile app or on the panel member website.

All game plays must be used by 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

How do I earn game plays?

It’s easy- simply scan and transmit your weekly shopping trips using the NCPMobile app or your handheld scanner. Each week NCP receives your shopping information during the Summertime Scratch and Match promotion, you will earn a game play that can be used starting on the following Monday afternoon.

For example: If you transmit a shopping trip between July 14, 2024, and July 20, 2024, you’ll earn one game play and have access to play Summertime Scratch and Match on Monday July 22, 2024, after 12:00 p.m. ET.

The same subsequent timing will apply for the remaining weeks of the game, if you continue to transmit weekly shopping trips and earn game plays.

How many game plays can I earn?

During Summertime Scratch and Match, you can earn up to five (5) total game plays. You can use each game play as you earn them week to week or save them up and play multiple games one after the next (until August 25, 2024 at 11:59 pm ET).

How do I play?

Open up NCPMobile or visit www.ncponline.com and tap on the Summertime Scratch and Match banner. You’ll see the banner appear on July 22, 2024. This will take you right to the game. If you have game plays available, you’ll be able to play immediately. Otherwise, keep transmitting your shopping trips so that you’ll have access to play Summertime Scratch and Match the following week.

To play the game, use your finger to scratch off the circular gameboard. Make sure to uncover the whole board! (Scanner households using a computer can use their mouse to do this.) If you match three (3) of the same beach icons, you’re a winner!

If your game isn’t an Instant Winner, you’ll still earn one entry into the $100 Visa gift card sweepstakes to be drawn after the promotion ends, and ten (10) lucky winners will be drawn. Each time you play Summertime Scratch and Match, you’ll earn an additional sweepstakes entry if your game outcome isn’t an Instant Winner.

If you have additional game plays available, you’ll see a “Play Again” button on the screen. Tap it to try your luck again! If you don’t have additional game plays available, use the NCPMobile menu (on the top left of your screen), to navigate back to the homescreen and exit Summertime Scratch and Match. If you are playing the game on the desktop version, you can exit and go back to the homepage.

What can I win?

Each panel member has a chance at instantly winning the following prizes:

Three Grand Prize winners:
• $500 Visa Gift Card (Three (3) Grand Prizes total to three (3) unique panel members)

Other Instant Win prizes:
• $50 Visa Gift Card
• $5 and $10 Amazon gift cards
• 1,000 NCP Bonus Reward Points
• $100 Visa Gift Card (awarded by random drawing to 10 lucky panel members after the end of the promotion period)

If you don’t win a prize, don’t worry though! If you are not an instant winner, you’ll automatically earn a sweepstakes entry for one of ten (10) $100 Visa Gift Cards! Drawing will be held after the game ends, during the week of August 18, 2024. Sweepstakes winners will be contacted by email, and their $100 Visa card will be emailed shortly after.

We’re excited to give Panel Members an opportunity to play Summertime Scratch and Match, and we hope you enjoy playing it! Let us know if you have any questions, and remember to submit your shopping trips each week so you can earn game plays. You can also find answers to questions about Summertime Scratch and Match here.
